A pregnant woman received her first Tetanus Toxoid (TT) injection at four months of gestation. Now, she has come for a check-up in her eighth month. What should be done regarding the TT vaccination?

Correct option is B

The standard protocol for Tetanus Toxoid vaccination during pregnancy involves two doses. The first dose is given early in the second trimester, and the second dose is administered 4-8 weeks later. Since the woman received her first dose at four months (approximately 16 weeks), she is due for her second dose now in the eighth month.
Explanation of Options:
· (a) Do not administer the TT vaccine: Incorrect; the second dose is necessary for complete protection.
· (b) Administer the second dose of TT vaccine: Correct answer; ensures adequate immunity against tetanus.
· (c) Administer 1.0 ml of TT vaccine instead of 0.5 ml: Incorrect; the standard dose is 0.5 ml.
· (d) Administer a TT vaccine today and schedule another dose after 15 days: Unnecessary; only one additional dose is required.
